THE TOPEKA GAMES.

The base ball association is making ex-
tensive preparations to make everything as
pleasant as possible for everybody who at
tends the games at the park. The grand
stand is entirely finished, and the officers re-
quest that ladies take seats in the grand
stand where ample accommodations have
been prov ded for them. A portion Of the
same has been partitioned off for them and
their escorts. The park has also been remod-
eled so that carriages now drive outside OF
the park directly to the stand, where ladies
can alight from them at the farther corner
of the stand and go into the section reserved
for them without passing in front OF the
audience A press and scorers desk has also
been erected Immediately over the back stop.
The front Of the stand is covered with wire
net work to prevent fouls from flying among
the audience, and in fact. every thing will be
in truly metropolitan style
The Topekas will be given cordial recep-
ton becoming the proves Of ball players
and due from Wichita as the representatives
of her ambitious little sister, who has the
good fortune to be at the state capital.
On each afternoon at l 80 O'Clock the two
clubs will parade Main street and Douglas
avenue, headed by the X, B. band, which ha:
been engaged for both days, and will furnish
music at the park during the progress OF the
games.
The grand stand and the two clubs on the
field will be photographed both days. All Of

ture will doubtless be filled on the occasion

MARKET HOUSE.

The Market house movement seems TO be
meeting with success even more encouraging
than was at first anticipated by those taking
the matter in hand. Already stock amount
ing to $50, 900 has been subscribed and there
seems to be no doubt but the s2o, 600 addi-
tional needed will be subscribed just as fast
as the business men can be approached on
the subject.
Bids on locating are being worked up from
four different sections-two south of Douglas
avenue and two north. There seems to be q
good show for q warm reception at the
| various localities bidding. In about ten days
the bids will be handed in and the site de
cided upon.
Architects Gould & Knapp, and Mr.. 4.
Peabody are drawing plans for the building
| The plans will be submitted to COMMITTEES
for an examination and selection
1t is the intention to have the building 60,
li8 feet and two stories high, as was som'
days ago stated. There viii be near lift,
stalls in the building, and adjoining th'
building on the outside, set apart by cor
rugated iron, about three times that mum

MIR. SETH W. COBB.

Mr. Seth W. Cobb, president of the Mer-
chants exchange of St Louis, arrived in the
city yesterday morning. This is not his
first visit to the metropolis, having been here
near a year ago. His second visit gives him
good opportunity to see the wonderful de-
velopments within the past year. He don't
seem to be surprised, for he had fully pre-
pared himself to see the suburbs Of the city
forced back two or three miles all around the
city He says he has more faith in Wichita
today than he had year ago, and he then
had faith enough to invest largely in real
estate Some of it he has since sold, and
some he says he wants to hold. Last night he
was of the opinion that he would buy some
more real estate here before returning.
Mr.. Cobb was shown some Of the business
portion of the city yesterday and one of the
stri king features be reports is the large num-
Der of business blocks going up. MANY
have been built during the last year. l see
fine business blocks in every stage of growth.
Some have the outside walls completed and a
large number of hands finishing up the in
side. Some are receiving the topping out
| bricks, some half way up. some with founda-
ton completed and again see in number
of instances excavating has just commenced
| While your real estate rush
has subsidized for the present your town
{ oday shows more evidences of genuine per
m anent growth than it did one year ago
They can talk as much as they please but a
real estate craze don't build cities. To build
cities you must do exactly what you are
doing today. Get factories, as you are doing,
get manufacturing enterprises, as you are,
get large wholesaling establishments. as you
are, i'll fact TO grow up a big and permanent
metropolis you must continue to do Just
what you are now doing. l have no fears
but that you will continue to work in the
proper direction. Men build cities when
they have fair chance and are the RICH,
kind of men. You here have the chance and
you have the very best kind of men
Mr.. Cobb contemplates remaining in the
city some days attending to business matters
He seems to know live city when he sees il
and is very favorably impressed with

A NEW Workers. OPINION.

Among yesterdays arrivals in the city WAS
J. 2. McIvers, wealthy capitalist OF New
York. He had started from New York with
the intention of visiting the live western
cities and seeing for himself how much OF
the boom credited them was true. He has
been he said at Kansas City and Omaha, and
during the day he had been driven
over Wichita While the two former
cities are larger, yet they neither show more
enterprise nor activity. And for their size
| am convinced that they are not erecting
more building. Why. it locks to me Ike
every old building on the principal streets
i, being removed 20 make room for mag
nificeut new business blocks From
the rise of land in the east,
III looked down upon the city
and il seemed to me there were nothing but
new roofs before ne This surprised me, for
| had heard great deal throughout the east
| OF Wchi:a's '.ousted boom
II did not exactly believe tke story, for the
clearing house reports showed up too well
and told all who would allow Themselves TO
| believe il quite . different story. l think
Wichita q wonderful city, and instead OF
beinr overr.sed, think the half has not besu

NOT A BOOM BUT A BOON.

That Wichita at no distant day is to have
a first class market house is cause for con-
gratulations to every business man and every
family in the city. There is no factor that
will so much encourage the production, on
our own soil, of the enormous quantities OF
fruits vegetables and produce that are con-
sumed in our city every day. Our present
supply of vegetables come from localities
where they have no population to consume
it, ard what we get is their surplus, crammed
into boxes and barrels, stored from twelve
to twenty-four hours in hot, stuffy express
cars, with coops of poultry and reeking
boxes Of 0sh, reaching here in half decayed
condition. This ste # is consigned to COM
mission houses to be sold for what it will
bring, and the consumer has no alternative
but to buy the truck, gag at his dinner, and
have dyspepsia. Our grocers who handle
the stuff lose money on it, because being
stale when they get it, it cannot all be sold
before it spoils. In the meantime, our own
market gardeners are compelled to meet this
compe tition, which makes it impossible for
them to engage successfully in the business.
1t is a great misfortune.that the council did
not set apart a revenue for a market loca-
ton when property was cheap, and the gen
tlemen who have undertaken to secure this
great benefit to the city at present high
prices of property certainly deserve great
credit, and should have the substantial sup
port and encouragement of every citizen.
Plans for the building, showing very hand
some design in architectural beauty, and
great convenience in arrangement, have
been submitted, and the public will have an
opportunity to contribute to its construction.
The location has not yet been decided npon
but the company will consider the best in
terests of the public in making a selection.

The committee also reported in favor OF
the plans for a new eight-room school, pre-
pared by Proudfoot &, Bird, to be erected
across the railroad, east, if satisfactory ar
rangements can be made, if not, on North
Lawrence avenue.
After some discussion and consideration the
plans were adopted on motion of Wingard

ARSENIC
Is What the Doctors Found in
the Billby Case.
What the CorOner's Jury
Found,

The coroner's inquest in the Billby case
was resumed yesterday by placing Mrs.
Billby upon the stand.
She spoke of purchasing diamond dyes for
coloring her childrens' dresses: said that the
man who called at the house on the 22d was
her half brother. The deceased, she testified,
often suffered from pains in the stomach and
sometimes fell faintiug to the ground
and could not arise without assistance
The testimony of the physicians who made
the chemical examination of the contents OF
the stomach was watched for with the great
est interest.
DR.. E. B. Rents was first called, and testi
fed as follows: DR.. Hindsdale and myself
made partial chemical analysis of the con
tents of Mr.. Billby's stomach. We exam
ined for arsenic. A couple OF the tests
seemed to indicate arsenic, the mos
delicate were negative. The tests we made
and discovered signs of arsenic might have
been caused by something else. We made
the tests as thorough as they can be made
with the appliances at hand. The reason We
the deceased was arsenic poison"
Dr. F. L. Hinsdale said: II examined par
of the contents of the stomach of Mr.. Bilby
deceased. There were some S OF in the stomach
of bloody character. In examining that FOL
traces of arsenic, in response to two tests
there were evidences of arsenic present; two
other tests gave negative results. In my
opinion the tests in which we discovered
arsenic were the most delicate"
The jury then after some consideration re
turned their verdict: ''The deceased came t.
his death from causes unknown to the jury
